Freeze-Ahead Spinach-Cheese Lasagna Rolls

Our vegetarian spinach-cheese lasagna rolls can be made ahead and frozen until you're ready to bake. Roll up lasagna noodles with a mixture of thawed spinach and three cheeses, and then top with marinara sauce.

Directions

1In Dutch oven, cook noodles in boiling water, working in batches of about 15 noodles, about 5 minutes or just until flexible but not fully cooked. Return water to boiling before adding next batch of noodles. Drain; place noodles in single layer on paper towels.

2In large bowl, mix feta cheese, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir in spinach. Spread 3 tablespoons filling down length of each noodle; roll up and place seam side down on cookie sheet. Freeze about 30 minutes.

Expert Tips

Since the lasagna rolls are frozen individually, you can easily remove the desired amount from the freezer bags at a time. If you’re serving a bigger group, thaw as many rolls as needed and use more than one 8-inch baking dish or a larger dish. Increase the amounts of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese accordingly.

You can substitute your favorite tomato pasta sauce for the marinara sauce, and replace the mozzarella cheese with another shredded cheese such as Monterey Jack. Feel free to use more or less sauce and cheese to suit your personal preference.

To complete the meal, serve the lasagna rolls with garlic bread and a tossed green salad.
